Default Air/Fuel Gauge

Im looking to put a A/F ratio gauge to compliment the Nitrous Pressure Gauge

Do I just get the narrow band 2 1/16 gauge? Is that the right one or do I Have to by a wideband?

My stupid question for the day.

Those bouncy narrow band gauges are just useless bling, data log or use the wide band.

I have a bargraph one. It has told me my car is running rich. It's either A) Correct or B) not hooked up right. My spark plugs are shot beyond recognition so I do believe it is correct.

i have the narrow band and it works just fine. its the same as the wide band but there is no number to tell you the ratio and its about $250 cheaper. i hooked mine directly into the oxygen sensor wire and have no problems. so if you got money to blow get the wide band if not get the narrow band.

I have a bar graph a/f gauge on my narrow band. It works but you can't get accurate readings. By the time your done your gonna wish you just bought a wideband setup.
I picked up the Innovate motorsports LM-1 for less than 250 on ebay.
